4 d. ago WSL talking points: Miedema proves doubters wrong and Chelsea stumble again

Chelsea lose ground in title race at Liverpool while Arsenal struggle to find their shooting bootsWhen Alyssa Thompson fired in a superb ninth-minute opener, Chelsea looked on course for another routine win. However, Liverpool’s defence held firm and the Reds levelled in the 33rd minute and held out until half-time.

Although the result did mean Chelsea set a record of 34 successive unbeaten WSL games, clearly all is not well with the defending champions. Last season they had 27 points after nine games and led the way, this campaign they have eight fewer and are three points behind Manchester City.
